    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Whitworth, no it's a typical Enfield rear sight for that period. Made a wad punch out of a 7/16 socket today. Working on a sizing die, files and patients.

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Whitworth, answer is no, nothing. After degreasing the barrel and parts, the bluing on the barrel is excellent. Barrel channel needs some work.

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    The Whitworth I ordered from Dixie arrived today. As 52 bore stated, this was produced by Pedersoli with Pedersoli markings on it. On the right, side above the lock is the Navy Arms stamp. In front of the rear sight is the Parker Hale stamp. Behind the rear sight is the Whitworth stamp. Left...

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Well it looks like I'm going to settle my curiosity in a couple of days. I ordered one from Dixie marked as to their advertisement " Parker Hale " on the barrel along with " Navy Arms " behind the rear sight, Item# PR1370. Advertisement also states " Made by Pedersoli " I'll provide details if...

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    TFoley, I would tend to disagree with you that many American shooters have trouble lining up the sights on a P53 and its kind. They just haven't been taught the correct sighting picture for the P53 and it's kind. As far as rear tang sights and front globe this country has a multitude of...

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Thank you TFoley . I've followed both Dungspreader and Cap and Ball on their Youtube channels. I'm very aware of the Pedersoli tang and foresight combination that Dungspreader tried. Mine came with the volunteer I ordered from Dixie. Each part is on two different rifles and not the one it came with.

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Thanks 52bore that helps a lot. Now is there any quality difference or pretty much the same gun with different markings.

    Whitworth, Pedersoli and Navy Arms

    Looking for some information on the two modern built brands. I've seen advertisement on both brand names but I'm confused as to who the manufacture is. I've advertisement to the effect that both are made by Pedersoli. Is there a quality difference?. Last I heard Navy Arms was no longer in...

    The Mainspring is slipping off the tumbler! How do I stop it?

    What I believe has happen, you have wear on both the tumblers pivot points, The hard part is to determine if its the lock plate hole for hammer/tumbler, tumbler pivot points and/or bridle. You want only a slight amount of friction between the bearing surfaces. To much slop and you'll have a...

    The Mainspring is slipping off the tumbler! How do I stop it?

    Looking at the picture that shows the internal workings, the guide pin for the tumbler appears to have a gap above it as it passes through the bridle. That would indicate to me that the tumbler has slop in it causing hammer/tumbler to move from side to side. Leave the tumbler in place and remove...

    .68 cal brown bess repro?????

    In 1994 I went to a pre 1898 show and seen two parts kits and a completed North Star officer's fusil on a table. Talk to the two gentlemen at the table and was informed that these were new from Curley and North Star. When I left that day I made a promise to purchase. A week later I called and...

    Musket caps . . .

    I'd recommend you take that 35 minute drive and pickup the Scheutzen caps. I used the CCIs because I couldn't get anything else locally. Had some minor issues with them, i.e. weak ignition. Ordered Scheutzens from Graf and will never look back. I use the in my 2 band Enfield and Volunteer and...

    Dried lube on Minnie balls?

    I've used the hot water method a couple of times to remove old lube. Use a metal can or old pot that will never be used for cooking again. Place bullets in the can/pot and cover with water about one and half times more than bullets. Bring to a boil for about five minutes, shut heat off and let...

    SOLD Cannon 3pdr.

    It was a labor of love to translate old English writing to something I could understand and build on. At times its been difficult to keep it looking good. The first time out it became a victim of theft while I was having breakfast with the group I was traveling with. Some one took a shining to...
